    2019 Gun Buck (pic Heavy) with Interesting story(at least to me).

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted · Edited by Tank

     

    First off great Bucks everyone and Congratulations to all who have scored!

     

    I shot this Buck @10:30 on the quietest opening morning in 31 years. He was the only deer I saw. He came casually walking through the woods to my left and entered the logging trail 50 yards from me and walked straight towards me. I shot him at 30 yards and dropped him in his tracks. My stand is 20 yards from where the East/West logging trail turns Southwest.

     

    The interesting part is I recognized him as I Buck I had ALL over my cameras in 16' and 17' but hadn't gotten a pic of him since just before the Gun opener in 17'. I thought he got killed during Gun 17'. I called him "Uptilt" due to his right main beam shooting up farther than the left. I could only go off of his rack in that moment until my Taxidermist friend was caping him out for me and noticed he had a regressive (my word to describe) lower jaw, of which he has only seen 3 times in well over 1000 deer.

     

    After finding that I started scouring through pics back at Camp from 16' and 17' trying to pin down if he had that condition in 16' and 17' and if I could distinguish it from pics. Well, sure enough he did and I was able to see it in a few of his pics!

     

    Anyway, that is the first Buck that I know of that ghosted me for nearly 2 years without a pic only to resurface and be able to Harvest! Needless to say It has been very cool experience for me!

     

    Thanks for reading! It seemed a little Long to put into Rob's thread.

     

    The last two pic is him in November 17! One shows his overbite perfectly!
